Physician re-entry resources available

The issue of physician re-entry into the workforce is growing in importance, and a number of organizations and individuals have collaborated to examine re-entry and create guidelines, recommendations, and strategies to assist physicians and ensure access to care for patients.

Physician re-entry is defined as “a return to clinical practice in the discipline in which one has been trained or certified following an extended period of clinical inactivity not resulting from discipline or impairment.” Resources on the subject can be accessed from the American Medical Association's Council on Medical Education and The Physician Reentry into the Workforce Project.
